A couple notes:

-Penn State's schedule was built entirely through extrapolation from all the other schedules. The Nittany Lions are still sleeping and none of the zookeepers on duty are allowed in the enclosure.

-I found one conflict, and it's been noted with an asterisk. Scroll to November and pay attention to Iowa and Indiana chilling next to each other. Indiana thinks its home match against Iowa is on Saturday the 20th, while Iowa claims it's on Sunday the 21st. If there's any SIDs listening, a cage match is in order to determine who's the real Dirty Dan.

Huff Hall will host a non-conference Big Ten-Pac 12 slate featuring the Illini, Iowa, Washington, and presumably Colorado.

Look no further than Kentucky's past few non-cons for a lesson on how to schedule "tough."

What are you talking about?

Kentucky's Non-Conference strength of schedule

2017 - #5
2018 - #5
2019 - #26

Even in the #26 year, they had 4 Top-25 teams and 7 total top-50 teams to rack up significant out-of-conference victories.

Penn State, Wisconsin, Nebraska twice. Maryland, Rutgers, MSU, once.

That's Purdue twice and Penn State once.

Penn State overslept. Wisconsin still a little embarrassed.

Penn State is "fashionably" late. 

Saving the best for last!

Penn State has to jump through extra committee approval before they release any of their athletics schedules. That’s okay. But it also doesn’t preclude us from dropping a few memes.

13 teams dropped Big Ten schedules today, and one put out a #WeAre.

#WeAre disappointed you couldn’t join us today, beloved Nittany Lions. #WeAre lost without you.

I'm gonna be super bummed if Pitt isn't on Penn State's pre-conference schedule this season (they had a home/home in 2019...hopefully they can do that again)

[bprtbone]

Well I'm excited to be able to plan out my road matches this season. PointHawks and hawkfan , I'll be coming to Xtream Arena on October 2 and will be looking for some local dining recommendations.

[PointHawks]

Bone, Got you covered

#WeAre still waiting...

Is there any history as to how long it takes a schedule to clear this committee?

[Kingsley]

We've got what looks to be a season-opening series for  Illinois. The Illini will kick off their season in Milwaukee at the Panther Invitational. First match of the year is against Milwaukee (unless there's a hidden doubleheader). UC Santa Barbara is there, too, so we can perhaps anticipate a matchup against the Gauchos.

See here.

[Kingsley]

Two additions for Northwestern:

Ariel Amaya - FR, 6'0 OH/RS (Late 2021 add)

Leilani Dodson - SO, 6'1 MB (Transfer from BYU)

Here you go.

[badgerbreath]

Huh. Dodson is a good pickup.

Not sure if anyone will get this reference, but Greg Meehan is the Cathy George of swimming.
